I have to scrape the area above the windows by the crown and of course the corner and part of the alcove shelf area. Basically all undesirable scraping spots.
R added some fire block today in the ceiling between the laundry room/old butler's pantry and the kitchen. He has finished insulating the ceiling and is ready to move on to installing some more bead board panels. But first he has to pick up all the tools. I swear that nearly every tool we own is currently laying on the floor of the kitchen.
This weather really keeps us limited to inside projects where we already have the needed supplies. It seems that every day it snows just enough to make the roads slippery. Since it is below 10 degrees they cannot salt or brine the roads.
The weather forecast is that this weather will continue for two more weeks. Now would be a good time for the weatherman to be wrong.
I'm curious if the walls are smooth or will you be doing a skim coat prior to painting?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, that just doesn't look like fun at all but it will look great once you're done.
The walls have a sanded bumpy finish. You can see little stones and grit in the material. I would say the walls are more like stucco than plaster.
ReplyDeleteIf the walls were smooth we might have thought about fixing them ourselves but we have no idea what this material is or how to get the desired finish.
I'll be watching the plaster guy like a hawk when he fixes the first floor and then maybe we can do the second floor ourselves.
Just like the commercial where the lady is complaining about her son on the motorcycle.......No. It isn't fun.
